Random Red Wings Notes

http://www.freep.com/article/20130322/SPORTS05/130322039/detroit-red-wing-todd-bertuzzi-injury

Bertuzzi with team, but still hasnt seen the ice yet.

http://www.freep.com/article/201303...etroit-red-wings-damien-brunner-anaheim-ducks

Babcock wants Brunner to model game, attitude after Selanne. Not a bad guy to model your career after.

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/...Wings-Niklas-Kronwall-made-clean-check-video-

Kronwalls check ruled clean. I think that is the right call there players need to keep their heads up.

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/...s0103/Jordin-Tootoo-s-fights-ignite-Red-Wings

Tootoos fights ignite Red Wings. I second this, i dont think Tootoo should ever be out of the lineup unless hes injured. Players can contribute in different ways other than just points.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/03/red_wings_darren_helm_not_on_t.html

Helm not on the road trip. Eaves appears to be injured too.

http://thefeatheredwheel.blogspot.com/2013/03/what-is-future-of-red-wings.html

What is the future of the Red Wings. I actually think the future is bright for this franchise. There is a lot of young talent in the organization and if (and this is always a big if) they develop as they should the Wings will be fine.

http://www.nightmareonhelmstreet.com/2013-articles/march/will-our-questions-get-answers.html

Will the Wings have an answer to the questions we have had all year?
 
http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/03/fox_sports_detroit_releases_st.html

In case you didnt hear FSD fired Larry Murphy. I seem to be in the minority here, and i will probably get killed for this but i never really liked Murphy. He knows hockey without question, i just never found him that entertaining as an announcer. However stating ratings was the reason he was fired is just plain dumb, ratings are down because fair weathered fans don't watch when the Wings aren't as good (happens to every team) and Bettman in all his wisdom decided to have another lock out. I have a feeling something went on behind the scenes here.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/03/red_wings_top_prospect_calle_j.html

Wings top prospect arrives from Sweden to play in GR. Im going to be honest i know nothing about him other than what i just read in the article, but i will be seeing alot of him in GR. Hope he tears it up.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/03/red_wings_have_had_to_rely_on.html

Wings relying on goaltender more than ever, Howard meeting challenge. Gone are the years when the goaltender mattered little to the Wings, who would just score 5 goals a game and let up 15 shots on goal.

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/...-run-Western-Michigan-defenseman-Dan-DeKeyser

Wings make final run at DeKeyser. This would be a huge signing for the Wings who would have a very young, very talented group at D.

http://kuklaskorner.com/a2y/comments/on-murph-and-dekeyser

thoughts on Larry Murphy and DeKeyser in typical A2Y fashion.

http://www.wingingitinmotown.com/20...-red-wings-roster-analysis-week-of-march-24th

New addition of roster analysis from WIIM.
 
http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/03/red_wings_todd_bertuzzi_frustr.html

Bertuzzi frustrated by back injury that has sapped strength from his leg. I cant remember how that song goes but is your back bone connected to your leg bone?

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/03/red_wings_enjoying_life_on_the.html

Wings enjoying road trip, compared to spring break. 5 game win streaks will put anyone in a good mood apparently. Hope they behave better than i did on most of my spring break trips.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/03/red_wings_defenseman_kyle_quin_3.html

Good news for Quincy, wont need surgery could be back in as little as two weeks.

http://www.freep.com/article/201303...ner-day-off-nets-him-needed-rest-overdue-trim

Brunners day off helps him recover. He was playing in the Swiss league before this hes up to 70 some games this season.

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/...k-says-shorter-locks-will-help-Damien-Brunner

Brunners new haircut will make him faster.

http://kuklaskorner.com/a2y/comments/wings-are-winning-ken...are-we-there-yet

A pep talk for Ken Holland.

http://kuklaskorner.com/a2y/comments/tick...tock-hollands-missing-the-boat.-again

Now calling out Ken Holland. I used to be a staunch defender of Ken Holland, im starting to swing the other way recently.

http://www.nightmareonhelmstreet.com/2013-articles/march/kindl-has-been-freakin-awesome.html

Kindl has been freaking awesome. That's two days in a row i have posted phrases i didnt think i would ever say in my life.
 
http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/03/red_wings_playing_with_poise_a.html

Red Wings playing with poise and confidence on the road. Still have things they need to improve. I still think this team is just one of those streaky teams, i wouldn't be shocked to see another losing streak this season just hope it isnt too long with only 15 games remaining.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/03/bring_back_murph_t-shirts_avai.html

Bring back Murph t-shirts. I think the shirt is kinda funny, i will not be purchasing one however.

http://www.freep.com/article/201303...n-proves-a-saving-grace-for-Red-Wings-on-road

Gustavsson proves a saving grace on the road. He played well, im not going to go as far as saving grace. It would be nice to have confidence in a backup goalie however.

http://www.freep.com/article/201303...Red-Wings-feeling-good-on-hot-streak-out-West

Wings feeling good on trip out west. The powerplay has been really strong on this trip, lets hope that is a trend that continues.

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/.../Red-Wings-growing-stronger-season-progresses

Wings growing stronger as season progresses. This is what i predicted at the beginning of the year, it was going to take some time to adjust to the new lineup and personnel.

http://kuklaskorner.com/a2y/comment...me-guac-and....37-coronas.-charge-it-to-the-k

buahahahhaa. Brendan Smiths tab on the wings day off in Phoenix. 37 coronas and one pina colada wtf? Think there was some rookie hazing going on here.

http://octopusthrower.com/2013/03/26/pavel-datsyuks-magical-mystery-tour/

Datsyuks magical mystery tour. I think his inconsistant play this season has more to do with who he is paired with rather than his skill disappearing. that being said he is 34 and age catches everyone.

http://redwings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=661417

Time and Space with Kindl. Pretty stock answers in this interview, i did like his story about not touching the cup in 08 though.

http://www.nightmareonhelmstreet.com/2013-articles/march/red-wings-on-facebook-goose-is-loose.html

Red Wings on facebook second addition: the goose is lose.
 
http://www.detroitnews.com/article/...ngs-Mikael-Samuelsson-says-injury-time-stinks

Samuelsson says injury time stinks. He has to be used to it by now.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/03/red_wings_mikael_samuelsson_ge.html

Samuelsson gets in full practice. I have done it to many times so i will skip my obligatory i hate Samuelsson rant.

http://kuklaskorner.com/a2y/comments/asleep-at-the-switch

Chief nails the tired cliches Wings fans have become to accustom to hearing at the trade deadline.

http://www.nightmareonhelmstreet.co...-is-the-best-gm-in-the-league-these-days.html

Shero is the best GM in the league these days. Makes me sick to write that but it is 100% true.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/03/red_wings_reassign_defenseman.html

Lashoff in Grand Rapids until Wed. to make room for DeKeyser. Now that he is offically a Wings i hope that he can live up to all the hype. Hard to believe that all the NHL teams gunning for him would have been wrong.

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/...128/sports0103/Ugly-Wings-loss-no-reason-fret

Wings Ugly loss no reason to fret. It is just one game, but the goaltending can't be that bad ever again if the wings want to make the playoffs.

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/...ik-Zetterberg-s-latest-injury-worrisome-Wings

Henrik Zetterberg's latest injury is worrisome for Wings

http://redwings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=662965

Lidstrom offered help with big decision. This needs to happen way more, have Lidstrom call all defenseman the Wings are pursuing and have a nice chat.

http://redwings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=662958

Defensive future is bright for Red Wings. If the prospects in the system develop like they should, the Wings could have one of the best groups on the Blueline in the NHL once again.

http://thefeatheredwheel.blogspot.com/2013/03/danny-dekeyser-and-what-this-means-for.html

Dekeyser and what this means in the future for the wings. See above comments.
 
http://www.freep.com/article/201304...ury-frustrates-many-in-Red-Wings-organization

Helm injury frustrates many in Wings organization. The wings could really use his speed and PK abilities.

http://www.nightmareonhelmstreet.co...o-regroup-i-know-the-perfect-replacement.html

Smith needs some time to regroup. Lucky the Wings have a good replacement. I do hope Wings Fans can have a little patience with Smith. Very few rookies come into the league and play consistently, Smith is going to have his ups and downs as a player but with his talent i expect him to be very good for a long time. I feel like Kindl had too much pressure to be mini Nick too quick which stunted his development.

http://redwings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=663220

Pointless story, i just thought it was funny that last night was Colaiacovo's home debut.

http://redwings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=663329

Confidence gets Brunner through. All great scorers have felt that their next one will be the one that goes in, no matter how long it has been since they netted one. Brunner is going to need this attitude to succeed as a sniper in the NHL.

WIIM roster analysis for this week.
 
http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/04/did_detroit_red_wings_pavel_da_1.html

Did Datsyuk reveal future plans in Tweet to Tigers' ace Justin Verlander? In one word no. Datsyuk is going to leave after his contract is up but it doesn't have anything to do with $. I think he wants to go back to Russia and play in front of his own fans.

http://redwings.nhl.com/club/blogpost.htm?id=15913

DeKeyser's signing brings back memories for Abdelkader.

http://www.wingingitinmotown.com/2013/4/2/4175966/quick-take-red-wings-point-paces

Wings point pace over an 82 game season.
 
http://www.freep.com/article/20130403/SPORTS05/130403065/detroit-red-wings-todd-bertuzzi-injury

Bertuzzi getting better will go on trip. I know i have posted this same thing like a month ago. Let me know when hes ready to play. He also could probably use a trip to GR for conditioning, he will be in rough shape if and when he returns.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/04/red_wings_darren_helm_will_pus.html

Helm pushing harder in rehab, no contract talks with Filppula. I will believe Helm will come back when i see it. As far as Filppula goes, i have a feeling some team will offer him a ridiculas amount of money and he will be gone, like Hudler last season.

http://www.nightmareonhelmstreet.com/2013-articles/april/red-wings-on-facebook-getting-dekeyser.html

Getting Dekeyser, red wings on facebook style.

http://redwings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=663967

Wings sign some goaltender i have never herd of, and Lashoff is recalled to Detroit.

http://redwings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=663921

The only thing the Wings are fishing for are wins. (picture of Datsyuk fishing makes this a hilarious joke)
 
http://www.freep.com/article/201304...ings-didn-t-make-trade-next-step-will-telling

Puzzling that Red Wings didn't make trade, but next step will be telling

http://www.freep.com/article/201304...e-Danny-DeKeyser-to-debut-tonight-at-Colorado

DeKeyser to make debut tonight. It will be really interesting to see how he does in his first NHL action. Going from NCAA level right to the NHL is some step.

http://www.freep.com/article/201304...gs-Damien-Brunner-hip-flexor-out-indefinitely

Damien Brunner (hip flexor) out indefinitely. Its a good thing the Wings dont struggle to score, they dont really need him.

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/...other-details-revealed-Sunday-Joe-Louis-Arena

Winter classic details will be revealed sunday, including jerseys.
 
http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/04/detroit_red_wings-toronto_mapl.html

In the least surprising announcement ever the Wings will face the Maple Leafs in next years winter classic.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/04/nhl_winter_classic_to_take_on.html

The Winter Classic will now be a division game giving it that much more meaning.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/04/rookie_riley_sheahan_not_ready.html

Sheahan not ready for NHL role, headed back to GR. I was really surprised he got the call up, i still wonder what the purpose of that was.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/04/2014_nhl_winter_classic_what_t.html

What the teams are saying about the Winter Classic.

http://redwings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=664576

Winter Classic uniforms to feature retro look. I like the look of the jersey they are going to wear, might have to pick one of those up.

http://mihockeynow.com/2013/04/dan-...eekend/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

DeKeyser talks about first NHL week.

http://www.wingingitinmotown.com/20...t-red-wings-roster-analysis-week-of-april-7th

Roster analysis from WIIM. If you don't read this site regularly you should start, there is always great content and new stuff all the time.

*also editers note i was not able to check the Free Press or the Detroit news sites as their servers were overloaded, presumably because there is some sort of a basketball game tonight.
 
http://www.freep.com/article/20130409/SPORTS05/130409015/detroit-red-wings-darren-helm-injury

Helm likely done for the season. Not that surprising of news seeing as how no one can figure out what's wrong with him. This does hurt the Wings big time tho.

http://www.freep.com/article/20130409/SPORTS05/304090017/detroit-red-wings-schedule-playoff-streak

Tough stretch of games but if they cant beat these teams they have no buisness being in the playoffs anyways.

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/...s0103/Red-Wings-changing-composition-team-fly

Wings changing composition of team on the fly. I know the team is building for the future but I do think that this constant line juggling players in and out of the games does not help the team win this year. AND FOR GOD SAKES STOP SCRATCHING TOOTOO. I dont get why they keep scratching him i know he doesn't score goals but at least he makes teams worry on the forecheck and draws penalties. Cleary doesn't score any goals and he does neither of those things.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/04/red_wings_damien_brunner_back.html

Brunner back on thursday. Filppula to center the 3rd line also is first in Babcocks dog house apparently.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/04/rookie_danny_dekeyser_fitting.html

Dekeyser fitting right in on Wings D. Im glad the wings nabbed this kid he has to potential to be great.

http://www.wingingitinmotown.com/2013/4/9/4203604/2014-nhl-winter-classic-the-manufactured-magic

JJ not feeling the love for the winter classic. I think most fans feel the same way now but as the event draws closer i think the excitement level will rise.

http://octopusthrower.com/2013/04/09/keys-to-red-wings-playoff-push-offense/

Key to the Wings playoff push. Offense. I think that pretty much covers it.

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/...-optimistic-tone-before-Detroit-Economic-Club

Wings top officials have optimism going into the end of the season with Detroit Economic Club.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/04/red_wings_prospect_teemu_pulkk_1.html

Wings prospect Teemu Pulkkinen to spend some time in GR. Cant wait to see this kid in action hopefully he turns into another famous Teemu.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/04/red_wings_valtteri_filppula_ho_1.html

Filppula moves to third line center in hopes of sparking offense. He sure needs it hes cost himself a lot of money in this contract year.

http://www.nightmareonhelmstreet.co...ings-watch-why-detroit-is-sitting-pretty.html

Standing watch why Detroit is sitting pretty. I'm not sure i agree with this, i understand they control their own destiny but they have a lot of good teams left. That being said if they cant beat them they dont deserve to be in the playoffs.

http://octopusthrower.com/2013/04/10/red-wings-playoff-push-by-the-numbers/

Wings playoff push by the numbers.

http://thefeatheredwheel.blogspot.com/2013/04/red-wings-team-with-too-many-holes.html

Red Wings a team with too many holes. This is what happens after too many years of roster turn over, the Wings need to get some young players to plug those holes cheaply.

*also if anyone wants to comment on these stories feel free to use this thread, i just post them all here to keep the forum organized, i would like to hear some more opinions from everyone on here.
 
I feel good about Detroit making the playoffs.

I feel confident in the Wings not doing much in the playoffs.

And I feel very confident about our future with so many good youngsters and loads of capspace.
 
http://www.detroitnews.com/article/...-returns-Wings-lineup-after-healthy-scratches

Smith to return to Wings line up. He is still a very young player so some growing pains were to be expected in his first "full" NHL season. (im aware there was a lockout.) Hopefully he learns to slow his game a bit so he doesnt make as many mistakes.

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/...1128/SPORTS0103/It-s-time-NHL-disarm-shootout

Time to get rid of the shootout. I completely agree with this. Tied NBA games are not decided by a free throw or dunk contest. I have never liked the shootout and never understood what was so bad about a tie game anyways. I like Hollands idea of a 3 on 3 OT would be really interesting to watch would increase the likelihood of a goal and its more true to the actual game rather than a skills competition.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/04/red_wings_in_unfamiliar_territ.html

Wings in unfamiliar territory, fighting for a playoff spot in the last weeks of the season. Hopfully they can sting some wins together and go in hot to the playoffs.

http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2013/04/red_wings_rookie_brendan_smith_1.html

Smith focuses on puck management as he returns to the line up.

http://www.freep.com/article/20130411/COL38/304110120/detroit-red-wings-playoff-streak

Time to salute the Wings playoff streak. This is a little defeatist to me. The streak is not over yet, its simple the Wings win they are in they lose they are out.

http://thefeatheredwheel.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-d-stands-for-desperation.html

The D stands for desperate. Its going to be exciting watching these last few games, I have a feeling i may scare my neighbors with some very loud profane screams at the television.

Stuart returns with mixed emotions. Brad are you sure you dont want to don the old winged wheel?
